Could be. The Austin 8, 10, 12, and 16 all looked similar, just kept getting progressive larger.

This car was supposedly rented by Eva Marie Saint's character, with Paul Newman as her passenger in the 1960 production of EXODUS.
At first glance, it would appear British, but Left-Hand-Drive, and with the front style of a 1937 Buick but on a smaller scale, with the rear maybe reminiscent of an Austin.
Your thoughts??
Reminiscent of an Austin? It is an Austin! A 1940 to 47 Austin 10.

As per the text, the photo was taken in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Unless it was a tourist from the US, it would have been a Cambridge in Canada (and the rest of the world.)
Craig
Beg to differ, Craig. The Cambrian was sold only in North America and for a brief time was sold alongside Cambridges. As noted above our family car from 1959 to 1964 purchased from Fred Deeley Limited in Vancouver and it was most definitely a Cambrian. (Name was on the trunk lid.) The differences between the two models were apparently very minor.

I have a friend with a restored 48 Chev 3 to 5 Ton truck but is struggling changing down gears.
Question - Is it possible to get syncro on 3rd gear (maybe 2nd as well) without using a later model gearbox?
If not what type of gearbox would be an easy conversion?
Thanks
What is he doing? Is he double clutching when he downshifts?

52 Studebaker above the bus.

The Austin is actually a 1957-59 A55 Cambrian (our family car 59 to 64). Next to the upper Esso sign there is a 1956 Hillman Californian.

Austin A50 Cambridge 1955-56?

Those little locating "tits" or tabs on headlights or whatever anyone prefers to call them have a name. They were officially referred to as "gizmos" in the instruction manual for the aimers I used many years ago.

Yes.

Grille should be chromed, not body colour, otherwise looks pretty decent.

When does the misfire show up? Anytime or just under load?

Anyone in the PNW going to the Langley Good Times Cruise-In on September 9th? Should be a good show.

I like them. Nash had nothing to lose by being a bit different. The front end styling was adapted from the Nash Healey designed by Pininfarina.

Napiers were assembled in Boston in fits and starts between 1904 and 1912, using both British and American bodywork.

No one else? There has to be someone out there that can prove me wrong!

And the location looks to be Stanley Park where lots of photos were taken.
As noted in another thread the hollow tree in Vancouver's Stanley Park is still with us, but it is on life support.

Napier about 1911-12?
Hollow tree still there - barely.

Short WB and narrow windshield suggest maybe Austin Bantam?
Nope.

1933 Peugeot, likely a 301C.

Too many buildings have suffered that fate.

Pictured above, we have the very stylish French auto in question. Pictured below, we have two American made autos. You may find it difficult to decide which exudes more style and class, the Frenchy, or one of the Americans.
Honestly George I don't find it difficult at all. No offense to you sir, but I will take the Citroen hands down.

If it is pulling to the right, look at your left front brake.
